Read the transcript of the Obama interview for this evening's NightLine and then watch the video.
President Obama cleaarly says "PULL BACK THE BAND AID" while ABC News transcript read "HOLD OUT A BAND AID" Unbelieveable distortion in reporting done here as the implications could not be bigger.
If you are a student of the market place you understand that entire collaspse of the fianicail system is predicated on lies, fraud and greed. The markets are is a disarray because no one knows exactly WHAT the banks hold off balance sheet in their LEVEL 3 assets known as MARK - TO - Fiction accounting. This is all those Mortgage Back Securties that are acutally worth 10 to 15 cents per dollar while the bank claimd they are worth 95 cents or higher - off balance sheet. So know one, no government, no person or investor trust them and this IS the root of the problems in our economy today.
OBAMA made a profound statement in this interview that we need to "PULL BACK" the bandaid and actually reveal the depth of the banks losses so that they can be addressed. That means bad banks that are insolvent - many are by the way - are taken out to the wood shed and we rebuild our banking system on a sound and stable footing.
ABCNEWS transcript reads "HOLD OUT" a band aid implying that Obama is saying we need to give the banks a bandaid, a remedy so to speak.
I cannot and will not believe this is an honest mistake by a incompenet news organization that does not check the transcripts someone types up on an hourly wage. Instead I will believe that this is intentional mis-representation of the President's word by just one more news organization owed and controlled by WALL-STREET that continues to mislead the public in their reporting of fiction instead of facts. Sounds like the banking system doesn't it?
